I'm Lazy... Low Calorie Ceasar Salad?

jazzie_red

Don't feel like doing all the research.

What restaurant do you like to have them at?

Also do you have a favorite recipe?

I always liked the Wendy's one, but for that LITTLE salad it's 250 calories. :O

There's no such thing as a low calorie caesar salad because all the bad calories come from the added ingredients other than the romaine lettuce [dressing, croutons, bacon bits, etc]. You can make your own at home and buy a low fat caesar dressing but it's not an healthier option. I suggest that if you really want one, treat yourself to one and include it as part of your meal plan for the day; that way, you'll be able to watch your numbers and if you don't want to go over your daily totals, you'll know where to cut. It's funny how once you see the numbers in front of your eyes, you might just end up not wanting it anymore.

I just eat the romaine lettuce with a couple of crutons and low fat parm cheese. I use a yogurt based ceasar dressing by Bolthouse Farms brand...45 calories for 2 tablespoons. As far as restaurants...I would suggest asking for the dressing on the side and dipping and eating to reduce the calories.

If you have a Safeway near by, they make these salad bowls that are about 230 calories, and they make a Chicken Caesar one.

I am not truely lazy. Just lazy enough... I actually love bike riding and was putting in about 120-140 miles a week last year. But I have had some health stuff and a crushed foot to content with. Put on wieght in the process. Just getting back in the game.

k8325, thank you for telling me about the boathouse, I will look into that. We don't have Safeway's in Utah.
